Specification of Letters Patent. 'Patnted Aug. 19, 1919- Applicationfiled October as, i918. Serial No, 259,631.

To all whom it may concern: p p

Be it known thatI, LoU s FALKENAU, a citizen of thej-United States,residing at Chicago, inthe county of Cook and State of Illinois, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Smokin Devices, of whichthe following. is a speci cation.

invention relates to improvements in smoking devices and consistsprimarily providing a suitable holder similar to atobacco pipe with anattachment for containing-and smokingthe tobacco in a proper andeflicient manner, and without placing the tobacco in the usual bowl ofthe pipe.

My invention further consists in providingj 1n connectlon with such anattachment-anoutlet from the bowl through the pipe-stem, which outlet islocated above the bottom of the bowl. 7

In the drawing Figure 1 is a sectional elevation of a tobacco smokingdevice embodying my invention; Fig. 2 an elevation of thetobacco-container removed; Fig. 3 a section on the line 33 of Fig. 1 butshowing the paper covering about to be applied; and Fig. 4 an elevationof a modified form of tobacco-container.

In the broader aspect of my invention, that is in so far as thetobacco-container is concerned, the holder may be of any desiredconstruction but I prefer to utilize a tobacco pipe as such holder andto employ the particular construction of pipe herein shown. This pipeconsists of a bowl A having a chamber a and an outlet 6 extendingthrough the stem B. As shown this outlet leads from the bowl chamber ata point above the bottom thereof and intermediate its height for apurpose hereinafter explained.

The attachment or tobacco-container C consists of a shell of suitablesheet metal and having its lower portion 0 slightly tapered so as to fitproperly within the correspondingly tapered upper portion of the bowlchamber. Describing the form of tobacco-container shown in Figs. 1 and2, the same is a cylinder except for the slightly tapered lower portion,and the same is provided with series of small openings 0 which areadapted to give v the necessary air opening through the shell, butwithout unnecessarily weakening the same or to permit buckling ordistortion from its oylin drical form clue to heat in the tobacco beingsmoked,

The tobaccocontainer is open from top to bottom with the exception thatit is provided in its lower portion with a suit-able transverseperforated partition (Y'forming' thebo'ttonl of the container andholding the "tobacco therein. As "shown, and by preference, thisperforated bottom is interme- 'diate theperforations 0. and the'lowerend of the container.

f A sheet of paper such 'as the ordinary cigarette paper D is wrappedaround this container, and thus enveloping the outer sides thereof andcovering the perforations therein, the edge of such paper which isfirstattached to the container, as shown in Fig. 5, being moistened andthereafter'the other or opposite edge being likewise moistened forattachment to the overlapping edge. By' preference I provide thecontainer with a comparatively broad solid surface 0 extending from topto bottom thereof as a means for effectually holding the paper.

I prefer to use the cylindrical form of container shown in Fig. 2,inasmuch as it permits me to utilize as the paper covering permitsufiicient air to pass through for the combustion and will prevent theashes from dropping through the perforations. Moreover, any drippings ofnicotin or the like or of ashes through the perforated botton C whichdrop to the bottom of the bowl and chamber, but as the outlet Z) is aconsiderable distance above such bottom it will not become cloggedthereby.

By means of this attachment the tobacco by eing placed in this containercan be smoked to its full extent, which is not the case when the tobaccois placed in the bowl of the pipe, and moreover the nicotin and so forthis permitted to drain therefrom instead of being retained in a solidma'ssof tobacco; Furthermore, by the use of the paper the proper airsupply is obtained and the retaining of the ashes Within the containeris effectually performed.

I claim:

1. In combination with a holder similar to a tobacco-pipe, atobacco-container fitting into the pipe bowl and projecting upwardlycxtraneously therefrom, such container consisting of a shell having sideand bottom perforations, and a strip of paper extending around the outersides of the shell and covering the side perforations thereof.

2. In combination With a holder similar to a tobacco-pipe, atobacco-container fitting into the pipe bowl and projecting upwardlyextraneously therefrom, such container consisting of a shell having sideand bottom perforations, and a strip of paper extending around the outersides of the shell and covering the side perforations thereof, saidshell having a comparatively Wide and unperforated strip extending fromtop to bottom to provide for attachment of the paper.

' 3. In combination with a holder similar to a tobaccopipe, atobacco-container fitting into the pipe boWl and projecting up Wardlyextraneously therefrom, such container consisting of a shell having sideand bottom perforations, and a strip of paper extending around the outersides of the shell and covering the side perforations thereof, saidbottom of the container being located near the top line of the bowl.

4. In combination With a holder similar to a tobacco-pipe, atobacco-container fitting into the pipe bowl and projecting upwardlyextraneously therefrom, such container consisting of a shell having sideand bottom perforations, and a strip of paper extending around the outersides of the shell and covering the side perforations thereof, said sideperforations being numerous but comparatively small to prevent burningup of said paper.
